Bhe Supreme Court Decides That an InnO-
cent Purchaser is Safe.
WAsHINeroN, November 21.-In the
United States Supreme Court to-day de-
cision was rendered in the case of the Col
oTado Coal and Iron Company ct al, ap-
pellsnts against the United States. The
object of this suit was TO have declared
void and cancelled sixty-one patents for
sixty-ene distinct tracts of land in Las
Animas county, Colorado, amounting in
the aggregate TO 8, 506 acres. The lands,
according TO the record, appeared to have
been regularly pre.empted aud patent
ed. All OF these tracts between 1873
and 1880 were conveyed through
one Jackson to the Southern Colorado
solidated with the Colorado Coal and Ir5n
Company, which proceeded to mortgage
for SO SOC, COO property for which the Gov
eminent received only $12 900. The Gov
eminent charged that 1t was a gigantic
conspiracy that the entries were fcti-
tious; that the alleged pre-emptors never
lived in Colorado, and that the Register
and receiver OF the LandOffice connived at
the fraud. The Coal and Iron Company
denied knowledge of the frauds alleged,
end maintained that it was an innocent
purchaser for alue,Ewithout notice OF
the alleged conspiracy. The Circuit
Court held that the charge in the bill
that the supposed pre- emPtoTs and pat
entees were fictitious persons having no
existence. was sufficiently proved; that
consequently, there being no real grantees,
no legal tide passed from the United States,
and that as the defendants acquired no
legal title by virtue OF the supposed con-
veyance to them, they cannot claim pro-
lection as bona flde purchasers for value
without notice of the fraud. The Circuit
Court therefore entered decree in favor of
the United States.
This court holds that the evidence shows
q fraud upon the United States sufficient
in equity as against the parties perpetrat-
ing it, or those claiming under them with
notice of it, to justify the cancellation of
the patents issued to them; but that is not
such fraud as prevents the passing OF the
legal title by the patents. Where gran
| tor has beed induced by fraud TO part with
the legal title to his property, he cannot
reclaim it from subsequent innocent pur-
chasers for value.
In the opinion of this court the Gov
eminent has not conclusivly shown that
all the alleged pre-emptors Of the lands
were fictitious persons, and that there
were, therefore, no real grantees, nor are
the facts sufficient to overcome the pre-
sumption of Innocente on the part Of the
| Register and Recorder of the Land Office:
nor does the evidence prove that at the
time Jackson acquired the title to the
lands which be afterwards transferred 10
the Coal and Iron Company, there were
upon any part of the premises in contro-
versy any known mines of coal within
the meaning of the statute. For these
| reasons the decree of the Circuit Court in
favor OF the United States is reversed and
| the case rem anded, with directions to
dismiss the bill. Opinion by Justice
| Matthews.

Case nomnroni.ed

FRANKLIN, November 21.-[SpeciaL] J.
The November term of the Circuit Court
convened to day. The docket Is not
large one, and the only thing of import
ance beyond the calling OF the docket was
the contemplated trial as the alleged NAL
practice case of the Surgical Institute of
Indianapolis, which was brought to this
county on a change of venue, and which
was to have been tried at the last term, but
was postponed on defendants motion un-
nounced himself as being ready to
proceed to-day, and postponed all other
business until next week. A struck jury
was asked in the case and a special venire
called, but before the jury were sworn the
attorney for the plaintiff announced that
the case was compromised at the plaintiffs
cost. Speculation was rife as to the terms
of the compromise.

to take any part in active politics outside

what their own honor and the interests OF
the country require. Mr.. DavItt is In a
different position. His opinion is entitled

land, and who is man of singular, re-
markable courage, who never shrank from
the consequences of his words or acts.
But do not gather that Mr.. Davitt
did crlticise the plan. He rather seemed
to be apprehensive that things might be
misunderstood in America. Respecting
the general situation, 1 may say that in
my judgment more feeble or inert gov
eminent never held the reins in Ireland.
They are teaching Irishmen q most disas-
trous lesson by their bungliDg incapacity,
teaching that the law may be successfully
defed. For the law, as recently con.
structed, by the Unionist majority in the
House of Commons, is daily deied, and
with impunity, by thousands of members
of suppressed branches of the League, and
by every Nationalist newspaper
editor in Ireland. In fact, one
of the extraordinary results Of
the coercion act, and a firm and resolute
government is that for every offense
against the law committed before the pas
sage of tbs coercion bill, hundreds are
committed now. l leave it to you to say
whether Ireland's respect for the imper-
ial Parliament, the possibility of her con-
tinued government by the same agency,
or the solidity Of the union Is likely to be
increased, or whether this administrative
incapacity does not render much nearer
the concession OF such reasonable power

pie law abiding, prosperous and happy"

COLUMBUS, Ind, Nov. 16.-[Special. !

four tramps, who were camped half mile

dead man lying under the ]. M. & /. rail
road bridge across Flatrock river. The
